Time for a new 'crisis' - Obama's numbers head south

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just a point above the lowest level ever recorded for this President. It’s also the sixth straight day in negative double digits, matching the longest such streak (see trends). Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports

They're polls. There are tons of them, people post the one whose results line up with their ideology.

Actually you say that for every poll we post... ALL of which seem to say the same thing.

If it was one poll, you'd have an argument. But it's ALL of them. Even the liberal organizations' polls show Obama's numbers falling badly.

Ohhh you got me!!!

Not!!!

What do the polls you are citing have to do with the fact that Obama's popularity numbers and approval ratings are falling?

As for the WAPO push poll, did you notice this?

Quote:
Overall, given what you know about them, would you say you support or oppose the proposed changes to the health-care system being developed by Congress and the Obama Administration?

Support: 45% (26% strongly)
Oppose: 48% (36% strongly)
That doesn't look like overwhelming support to me.

Or did you notice how this question was asked?

Quote:
Which of these would you prefer:

A plan that includes some form of government-sponsored health insurance for people who can't get affordable private insurance, but is approved without support from Republicans in Congress?

(51% overall approval)

Or

A plan that is approved with support from Republicans in Congress, but does not include any form of government-sponsored health insurance for people who can't get affordable private insurance?

(36% overall support)
The problem with that question is that neither of these options tells the truth. The government-option is not going to be limited to only those who cannot get affordable health care. Therefore people were voting on something that has no basis in reality.

If the question were truthful and asked people whether they would support a government health plan that is open to EVERYONE for now and will eventually become the ONLY FORM OF HEALTHCARE provided in the USA, I wonder what the results would be.

Actually I don't... 80% of Americans would vote against it right off the bat.

The poll was a push poll specifically devised to have an outcome that is beneficial to the Dems. But it isn't reality-based.

So even in this poll, where Americans made it clear that they do not support Obama's and Congress' proposals for health care reform, the pollsters STILL couldn't be honest in their questions.

I wonder why Dems would come up with a different answer than everyone else? Or how about this poll - also skewed toward Dems in the sampling - which shows the public is more concerned about the economy than Democrat favorites health care reform and climate change combined?

George - I believe your poll numbers are probably low. I'm sure his disapproval numbers are much, much higher and his approval numbers are in the single digits but the public won't be privy to that particular poll as it would be closer to the truth.

America is obviously just starting to catch on to this bozo's lame brained "cabinet" and ill advised advisors. It's just a matter of time until the military does a bloodless coup and takes the clown goosestepped out of the White House. I'm sure FOX news will be broadcasting that scene live and then rerunning the piece over and over again 24/7 for at least a week or more.
